USS Lafayette: Old Dog, Same Tricks

Cromwell takes command of his last starship and meets his crew.

Mission Description

When you’ve reached the rank of Commodore, you’ve earned a lot of favors. And a desk. The favors, Pete Cromwell liked. The desk… made him shudder.

Now, he’s preparing for departure and ready to meet his last crew.

Scuttlebutt

USS Lafayette: Old Dog, Same Tricks

Pete had always made it his habit on his first day on a new ship to walk the deck in civvies. No indication of rank or position, no acknowledgement of anyone talking or speaking – of him or the mission. Just to walk, and to listen. It wasn’t his intention to spy or hold grudges, but you learned [...]
